Atrial flutter treatment by rapid atrial pacing.

49 patients with 53 episodes of atrial flutter were treated by rapid atrial pacing. Sinus rhythm was attained in 55%, atrial fibrillation in 26%, type II flutter in 9% of patients. In the other cases, the effect on atrial action was only slight or short-lasting. Among the causes of the unsuccessful outcome of treatment, the authors include--besides insufficient rate and duration of pacing, bad electrode contact in the atrium and insufficient outlet current--specific properties of the type of flutter (impure flutter, type II flutter, type I atrial fibrillation, uncommon flutter) as well as unsuitable indication (mitral defect, thyrotoxicosis).

Long-term experience with the technique of subclavian and femoral vein cannulation in hemodialysis.

Large vein cannulation for hemodialysis was used in 1164 patients undergoing dialysis treatment and in an acute dialysis program. Subclavian vein cannulation was utilized in 2494 dialyses, and femoral vein cannulation was used in 2368 dialyses. No significant differences with regard to clinical complications were encountered in either type of cannulation. The mortality rate due to subclavian vein cannulation was 0.12%, while that due to femoral vein cannulation was 0.04%. The main risk of subclavian vein cannulation was arterial bleeding, due to trauma to an artery, and pneumothorax, more likely occurring in asthenic patients or in patients with emphysema. Single-needle hemodialysis using subclavian or femoral vein cannulation gave the same results as the arteriovenous Cimino fistula. Intermittent or combined use of both types of large vein cannulation is advantageous in long-term regular dialysis patients that are waiting for a new fistula.
